Fri 30 March - Plimmerton to Picton

We spent this morning sorting out a freshwater top up and grey and black water dump. We made our lunch to eat in the ferry queue as we have to be there by 12.30pm. It was quiet with no trains running over Easter - some of those staying here had been expecting to use them to go in and out of the city. They were a might miffed!

We had a good run into the city arriving early at the BlueBridge Terminal. We had just finished our lunch when it was time to drive on board. We were parked down with the trucks on the lower deck. There were about 100 foot passengers but because we were one of the first on we got to find comfortable seats for the crossing. The sea was flat calm and the boat was full. We arrived into Picton about 5.45pm; Bruce had to take it carefully coming off the boat because of the ramp angle.

Soon we were on our way and parked up at Koromiko (about 10 minutes south of Picton). Les, the owner of the property, came over to say 'Hello' and we also met Christine, the custodian. It has been over 6 years since we last stayed here and is just as lovely as it was then.
